Senior figures of Premiership Rugby are sure that agreement to change the salary cap will be done this week. The new plan comprise the allowance of a second marquee player from overseas, whose wages will not be included in the salary cap. The cap is expected to go beyond the current £5m limit giving more money for fielding academy players. It is hoped English qualified players will play in England up to the 2019 Rugby World Cup because of these changes. Chief executive of Premiership Rugby Mark McCafferty said: “The salary cap increase will keep the best English players with the clubs. It is necessary element of our league and the power of our system.”
He added: “Currently more than 70% of match day squads qualify to play for England and we want to maintain this up to 2015 and 2019 World Cups and beyond.” MacCafferty also said scheme of a second marquee player would attract other competitions’ players to our clubs because of which our TV and commercial values will be increased. These changes are expected to be approved in a meeting taking place on Wednesday. The 2014-15 season salary cap of £5m including a basic cap of £4.76m and £240,000 of academy credits has risen by £500,000 from the 2013-14 package.
